Frank Zappa made headlines twice when he named his children Dweezil and Moon Unit. Although Dweezil's birth name is Ian Donald Calvin Euclid Zappa. The story told was that the hospital where he was born refused to register the name "Dweezil" so Frank just listed a bunch of musician friends he knew and the boy was called "Dweezil" from infanthood. Frank also has two other children, a girl named Diva and a boy Ahmet. Legendary singer and actor Frank Sinatra fathered three children of his own, Frank Jr., Nancy, and Tina.
